General Orders for the Regulation of the Navy Yard Washington, DC
[circa 1833 -- 1850]
1. The Commander, & when he is not on duty the Senior Lieut. on duty, is considered the Executive Officer of the Yard, and will be obeyed as such, accordingly, by all inferior officers & other persons employed in the Yard.

4. The officers of the Yard will give their regular attendance during the working hours of the Yard, unless specially exempted, or absent on leave. One of the Commissioned Officers will remain in the Yard at all times, & will see that no improper persons are lounging about the Yard or in the workshops or Ship Houses, tc [etc.] he will prevent conversations between the workmen & visitors.
5. There being now four Lieutenants attached to the Yard, and this having been done with a view to the greater security of the Yard & the public property, especially at night, the three Junior Lieutenants will perform duty, day & night, in succession. Each days duty will embrace the 24 hours commencing at 8 o'clock AM & ending the next day at the same hour The officer of the day is to have the Superintendence of the Watchmen & will visit their different posts frequently, he will see to all the fires, & report them out according to existing orders. His duties will correspond in every respect, with the ordinary duties of the Officer of the deck on board ship, when in Port. He will therefore acquaint himself with all the "General Orders" of the Yard. The Senior Lieutenant's duty will be that of the 1stLieut of a Ship, on board which there is a Commander & Captain also -- The Masters will continue the same as heretofore. A room adjoining the Chapel will be set apart for the convenience & accommodation of the Officer of the Day.

He will apprise the Commanding Officer when there is an alarm of fire, either in or out of the Yard, day or night & report to him every irregularity. The officer of the day will acquaint himself with the duties, posts and limits, tc, of the Watchmen, as now prescribed, & See that they are regularly relieved & vigilant at all times. The officer of the day will issue the Countersign and see it sent to the proper officers, and that the Stores, Shops, tc, are Secured at Sunset, and the Keys returned as heretafter ordered. When either of the Junior Lieutenants are is sick, or off duty, the 1st Lieutenant will take his place for the time being. The officer of the day will give his personal attention to all work being carried on in the Yard.
6. Should fire break out in the Yard, or in its vicinity, either in the day time, or during the night, the Officer on duty, or the Sergeant or Corporal at the Gate, will cause the bell to be rung and immediate information given to the Commandant, & Executive Officer. Should the fire be so remote as to excite no apprehension for the safety of the public property, the bell is not to be rung, but the officers of the Yard are to be informed of the fact without delay. Should any other Circumstance occur requiring the attention of the officers of the Yard, or assistance of the officers of the Yard, information must be given to the Commandant & or to the Executive Officer and none of the Workmen employed in the Yard except those referred to in the next following article are to leave their work on the alarm of the fire unless the Yard bell be rung.
7. On the alarm of fire being given, those men who are members of the Navy Yard Fire Compny, are to be permitted to repair, immediately, to their Engine; but they are to return again to their work in the Yard without unnecessary delay, & as soon as their services can be dispensed with at the fire.-- In every case the Clerk of the Yard will report to the Commandant, the names of the men and the length of time they shall have been absent at a fire, when he will decide whether their pay shall be stopped, or continued for the time of their absence.
8. The Fire Engines of the Yard are to be kept in Serviceable order, to be examined every Saturday & Exercised occasionally by the men in Ordinary, under the Superintendence of the 1st Lieutenant, or Officer next in rank when he is absent. [The words "Fire Engines" appears written by another hand in the left margin next to this paragraph.]
9. Officers occupying houses within the Yard will be held responsible for all accidents, arising from neglect or improper use of fires or lights in their respective quarters. All other fires in the Yard, or on board of vessels at the wharf, must be extinguished at Sunset & reported to the Executive Officer. Chimneys where fires are used must be swept monthly.
10. Smoking, either of Pipes or Cigars within the Yard, is prohibited, except in the quarters of the Commissioned Officers.
11. To guard against accidents from fire, all persons are forbidden to leave wood in any of the Shops at night -- more especially in the Smithy Shops & those other shops where there are forges-- at night all wood is to be removed also, from the vicinity of the Furnaces, Steam Engines tc., tc.-- In future, every act of neglect of this order, or any carelessness with fire, will be noticed in the most serious manner. No excuse or reasons for carelessness with fire, especially in any department of the Yard, will be noticed in the most serious manner. No excuses or reasons for Carelessness in any department of the Yard will be rec.-- The officers of the day will see that this order is strictly executed.
12. The Master Mechanics of this Yard will report to the Executive Officer at half an hour before Sundown of each day, the extinguishment of all the fires in their respective Shops, Offices & except those as necessary to be kept for mechanical purposes. They are desired to be particular & certain that every spark is put out.
13. The Mechanics and laborers Employed in the Yard, (with the exception of the Anchor Smiths & Engineers) are prohibited entering the Workshops, Ship houses, and other places where the public property, tools, etc. are deposited, during the hours allotted for meals.
14. The Mechanics & laborers are forbidden to bring their meals into the Yard, either in baskets, bags, or otherwise, and none will be permitted to eat their meals within the Yard, unless specially permitted by the Commandant. The Anchor Smithy, Foundrymen & attendants of the St. [Steam] Engines are so permitted whenever their fires are kept during meal hours.
15. The Workmen are not to engage in conversation with any person during working hours. The Master Workmen will enjoin this order upon their men, and report to the Executive Officer, all who disobey it.
16. The Mechanics & Laborers Employed in the Yard, will not be permitted to break off from work for meals, etc., until the tap of the bell. Any Mechanic or Laborer violating this order, to be checked one quarter of a day for each offense. The Master Workmen & overseers of laborers are required to give constant attendance each working day until the tap of the bell for meals, tc., and to report any & every violation of this order.
17. No Mechanic, or other person employed in the Yard, by the day, can leave his employment without permission from the head or Master Workmen under whom he may be employed, and the knowledge of the Clerk of the Yard; and if he remains absent for two days, unless he be sick (in which case, he must send word to the Clerk) or have permission from the Commandant, his name is to be struck from the Rolls. [Note in different handwriting in left margin of this paragraph reads "Absence of workmen from the Yard."]
18. In Mustering the Mechanics & others employed in this Yard, each individual is to answer his name when first called -- Anyone omitting or Neglecting so to answer, is to be checked & not permitted to go to work until the succeeding Muster.

20. The half-monthly Return of time, made by the Master Workmen & overseer of laborers, being intended as a check upon those made by the Clerk of the Yard, it is obviously improper that any comparison of those returns should be made with each other before being sent to the Commandants Office, where the necessary examination will be made -- any such Comparison is therefore strictly prohibited.
21. The head of each department in the Yard, will report to me, in writing, every morning by 9 A.M., what their respective Gangs are employed about, and the progress of the work in hand; and where several jobs are going on, in one department, how many hands are working at each.

26. In future, when any new work is ordered, the Master Workmen under whose direction it is to be Executed, will immediately make requisitions based upon Estimates previously submitted to the Commdt for the quantity & descriptions of materials necessary to complete the work; & no article that has been procured & is in store, for a specific purpose, is to be taken without a Special Order from the Commandant --
The Navy Store Keeper will see this order is enforced so far as relates to Stores in his charge. When furniture is taken [?] from any of the officers quarters in to the public store, a receipt will be given but furniture so returned cannot be taken from the Store without an order from the Command.

The Commander, Lieutenants & Master of the Yard are required to visit frequently the different Work Shops, in order to ascertain that the men are diligently and soberly at their respective duties, and should any thing the contrary of this be observed, it is to be immediately reported to the Commandant.
57. It is Expected, that on Working days, the Executive Officer, will not leave the Yard, when the Commandant is in it, before 12 o'clock, meridian, without first informing him of wish to do so.

58. It is Expected that the Naval Store Keeper or one of his Clerks, will be in constant attendance when on leave of absence in the Yard during working hours, except when on leave of absence from the Commanding Officer.

61. The pastures in the Yard being for the benefit of all the officers attached to the Yard, may be used, indiscriminately, by all unless otherwise particularly directed by the Commandant.
62. As it is necessary & proper that the lots of officers residing within the Yard, should be kept clean & in order, as well as all other parts of the Yard, and there being no reason why the one should not be done as well as the other at public expense, the Executive Officer is herby directed to assign one of the Ordinary men, for the purpose, to each lot; but the officers are not to consider that those men are designed for their Exclusive Service & Convenience: on the contrary, they are to be, in every respect, subject as now the order of the Executive Officer, to be employed by him at his discretion whenever the public and general duty of the Yard may require their service -- in other words, the Ordinary men afore referred to, are only to attend on the officers lots, when the duty of the Yard will justify it, and when it can be done without detriment to the public duty that may be going on -- and therefore no Officer is authorized to send or take one of the Ordinary men outside of the Yard without leave from the Executive Officer who is, by me, authorized to grant this (but for the immediate neighborhood of the Yard only) when it in his judgment, be proper, keeping the above rule in view.
The Ordinary men are never to be used as drivers of the Private Carriages of the Officers, nor as Servants at their quarters.

66. The public Library of this Yard will in future be in charge of Mr. D. M. Comb (1st Clk [Clerk] to Comdt) as Librarian. Hereafter And no books are to be taken from, or returned to the Library, except through him; nor are any to be taken outside Yard under any circumstances without permission from the Comdt.
